   RECOGNIZING JACK DANIEL'S DISTILLERY ON THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF 
       WINNING THE GOLD MEDAL AT THE 1904 ST. LOUIS WORLD'S FAIR

  (Mr. DAVIS of Tennessee asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, as the 
current Member of Congress representing Jack Daniel's and its 
employees, it is my honor to pay tribute to this Tennessee treasure.
  Since 1863, in the spirit of George Washington, the father of the 
American distillery industry, the Jack Daniel's distillery, has 
produced the most popular Tennessee whiskey. Jack Daniel's has produced 
and responsibly brought a part of Tennessee heritage to millions of 
adult consumers in 135 countries around the world. Jack Daniel's 
Tennessee whiskey is the United States' number one exported distilled 
spirit.
  Jack Daniel's, located in Moore County in the 4th Congressional 
District of Tennessee, has a long tradition of bringing friends and 
neighbors together. Furthermore, it has been a major source for 
employment and tourism revenue in Moore County and Lynchburg, 
Tennessee.
  I would like to express the U.S. House of Representatives' heartfelt 
congratulations on the 100th anniversary of Jack Daniel's 1904 World's 
Fair Gold Medal.
